The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology earlier raised a Tsunami Alert Level 1 following the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit south-central Chile Saturday morning (afternoon in Manila). Phivolcs head Renato Solidum said if ever the tsunami triggered off Chile happens, it is expected to arrive between 1:30pm and 2 pm Sunday. (See update here)

Earthquake-generated tsunami (source)

An earthquake may generate a tsunami if the quake:

  • occurs just below a body of water,
  • is of moderate or high magnitude, and
  • displaces a large-enough volume of water.

Most tsunamis are generated by underwater earthquakes

Art books for Naomi

2 Replies

My daughter is looking for contemporary art books on the Internet. She wants to get some tips on how to properly apply water color to her drawing. The last time we were at the mall she was checking an art book. It’s a bit pricey so she looked for other less expensive art books. She saw two practical guides to drawing animals and portraits. Hubby used his credit card to pay for the items that also include a few pieces of art materials. My daughter was excited to have her first set of art books. When we have extra cash we might buy her guide book to drawing still life and another book that teaches step-by-step exercises to apply water color to drawing. By the way, she is celebrating her 13th birthday on Monday. One of her wishes is to enroll in art classes this summer.
